Presumed the next great evil was demensions last night fought long and hard draning this
dimensions powers even after they gave up. It started from about 10 years ago hidden from me
till today. The gods from time to time enter time domains in space ect to fortell the future so they
can prepare for the straightest path without pain. Well a few hundred years ago they fortold
Nanaimo (holy town) was to become babalon (evil) so they prepared and prepared, well I
presume much of this goes on first ive noticed though. They noticed port coquitlam being built as
the church of man and government found it pleasing to prepare that city where the beast to fall as
it has. It has been proclaimed babalon now but for ten years the prepared finally decided
Nanaimo was to be attacked with more force then we had a force that would eventually turn itself
evil if not met with wisdom. We Nanaimo mountain even animals and surrounding towns
everwhere we spoke up and said then fight us and gain faith if you dare. They did over the years
many individually eleders including the lamb fell in reach of evils hand and many turned evil but
never one elder or lamb among lost hope in returning to the day of times.
I saw the dimension deep in space great evil emerged from it I soaked up there weapons
prepared to look pure acceptance was shaky a weapon was given to the kingdom below a sword
of justice it was suppose to be we claimed it along with much more then it appeared to become
Nanaimo so I placed it upon my spirit. Today I realized again much more of these inclosed
dimensions were around and placed them back in nanaimo鈥檚 area. The many gods that fought us
thanked us for letting them prepare in such ways, and they departed into the silence. Revelation discusses an entity it calls 鈥淏abylon the Great鈥? which practices adulterous harlotry with earthly governments. Only false religion could lyingly claim and disgustingly betray a relationship with God by "selling" itself for governmental "favors"!
(Revelation 18:3) all the nations have fallen victim, and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her
(Revelation 14:8) Babylon the Great has fallen, she who made all the nations drink of the wine of the anger of her fornication!鈥?br>
The Bible shows that all the many forms of false religion make up a conglomerate 鈥淏abylon the Great.鈥?(Revelation 17:5) That name calls to mind the ancient city of Babylon, where false religion started up after the Flood of Noah鈥檚 day. Many teachings and practices now common in false religion originated long ago in Babylon. For example, the Babylonians worshiped trinities, or triads, of gods. Today, the central doctrine of many religions is the Trinity. But the Bible clearly teaches that there is only one true God, and that Jesus Christ is his Son. (John 17:3) The Babylonians also believed that humans have an immortal soul that survives the body after death and can suffer in a place of torment. Today, belief in the immortal soul or spirit that can suffer in hellfire is taught by most religions.
Since ancient Babylonian worship spread throughout the earth, modern Babylon the Great can properly be identified as the world empire of false religion. And God has foretold that this empire of false religion will come to a sudden end. (Revelation 18:8) Do you see why it is vital that you separate yourself from every part of Babylon the Great? The Almighty God wants you to 鈥済et out of her鈥?quickly while there is still time.鈥擱evelation 18:4.
Scripture supports the belief that "Babylon" is not any single place for these last days but is a morally and spiritually corrupt "nation" of people, governments and philosophies which are scattered throughout the world. I have often posed the questions; will God punish America and ignore China? Will God punish China and ignore Russia? All the people of the world who have turned their back on the One God and His Only Son and who have practiced idolatry with false gods - worshipping at "altars" such as those made with greed, lust, hate, selfishness and as is so prevelant in these last days - self-worship - there is where you will find today's "kingdom" of Babylon and there you will find those who are wearing the "mark of the beast."
Just as a true Christian whose faith is demonstrated through obedience to God through Christ and who "wears" his faith on his right hand (biblically, the "worker hand") and on his "forehead" (where the will which controls the hands action resides), lives in the Kingdom of God which is within them (Luke 17:21), so too the kingdom of Babylon lives within someone who accepts the "mark of the beast" through willful actions.
In the Old Testament's Deuteronomy 6 when God wants us to "keep all His statutes and His commandments...." He tells us "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes" (i.e. wear them on your forehead) (Deut 6:2, 8).
In the Great Book of Revelation, we are warned not to accept or, in effect, to replace God's "mark" with the "mark of the beast" (Babylon) in either of those areas (actions or will). We are not to perform "service" for the beast for that service will lead us into the lake of fire. That's why when Babylon falls, those who have taken the beast's mark are punished...
8 A second angel followed the first one, saying, "She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen! She made all peoples drink her wine - the strong wine of her immoral lust!" 9 A third angel followed the first two, saying in a loud voice, "Those who worship the beast and its image and receive the mark on their forehead or on their hand 10 will themselves drink God's wine, the wine of his fury, which he has poured at full strength into the cup of his anger! All who do this will be tormented in fire and sulfur before the holy angels and the Lamb. (Revelation 14:8-10)
But those who have kept God's "mark" of obedience to His Commandments and who have performed faithful service through Jesus Christ will be rewarded...
12 This calls for endurance on the part of God's people, those who obey God's commandments and are faithful to Jesus. 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Happy are those who from now on die in the service of the Lord!" "Yes indeed!" answers the Spirit. "They will enjoy rest from their hard work, because the results of their service go with them." (Revelation 14:12,13)
That is why there is no escape from the beast except through sincere repentance which is only brought about through a true change of heart in the person who has sinned.
But I believe that it isn't as important to know where Babylon is, geographically, as it is to know what Babylon is "spiritually"; essentially, a "nation" of idolators who have turned their backs on God and Christ. You can move out of the United States, you could live on the moon if it were possible but if you were, for example, worshipping the sun, it wouldn't change where you were living for in your heart you'd still be a "citizen" of Babylon. A Catholic doesn't have to live in Vatican City to be a Catholic anymore then a Mormon has to live in Salt Lake City to be a Mormon or a Jew has to live in Israel to be a Jew. Being "Babylonian" is an antiChristian religion which can be practiced from anywhere in the world. As a result, a person wears the mark of the beast as a Babylonian "citizen", just as the Christian wears the mark of Christ as a faithful servant of God.
Now, as for the "seat" of the antichrist, (which might be considered the "spiritual capital" of Babylon) the Scriptures support more physicality in that area. When the Lord was speaking to the Church of Pergamos in Rev. 2:13, He said: "I know where you live, there where Satan has his throne. You are true to me, and you did not abandon your faith in me even during the time when Antipas, my faithful witness, was killed there where Satan lives."
"Pergamos" is really representative of an actual city very much given to idolatry. The church of Pergamos was infested with men of corrupt minds, who did what they could to corrupt both the faith and manners of the church. Even in the face of persecution, Christ (carrying a two edged sword) still commends the church for their stedfastness: "Thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith." Satan's "seat" is where the "heart" of idolatry exists and since Christ is admonishing the churches in Revelation then we are talking about the "seat" (base of power) of the antichrist being in the most idolatrous church of all even if he has a physical seat someplace else like in New York, such as in the United Nations or European Union (for example).
It's interesting to note that the Tower of Babel was a center of trade and commerce in ancient Babylonia which as we know God destroyed and the World Trade Center was destroyed this time - a place which was a center of trade and commerce for many countries of the world. It is also important to recognize that God often uses one evil nation to combat another evil nation, eventually rewarding the nation who repents and faithfully returns to Him or rewarding those within that evil nation who repent and "come out of her" in their hearts to faithfully return to Him.
This is why in John 6:27 we are warned not to "work" for the food that spoils (Babylon which will fall) but to work for Christ because God put his mark on Christ and we *willfully* (remember, our foreheads contain our will) - we *willfully* accepted that mark as Christians.
In the last days, "Mystery Babylon" only remains a mystery to unbelievers who cannot recognize the difference between the true Church of Jesus Christ and the counterfeit "church" which is led by the antiChrist and promoted by his disciples. "Mystery Babylon" is no mystery to Christians who know and follow God's Word. I continue to maintain that knowing the "where" of Babylon isn't as important as knowing the "what." There may be many possible geographic interpretations since Babylon as an "antiChrist church" is spread throughout the world but as long as we're not residing in Babylon in our hearts and we continue to wear the mark of God on our foreheads then the specific geography doesn't really matter all that much.
And so I say to all who have yet to turn to the Lord: Humble yourselves. Repent. Fast. Pray. Turn away from your idolatry. Time is short.
God bless |
